Alibris Reviews Summary

Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

Speedy delivery and the book is in the condition as advertised. A convenience for me not to go searching on foot for this book.

I got an extra "."
August 19, 2024

I got an extra "." in my e-mail address the first time, so it didn't match the confirmation. The system refused to accept it and I saw no message to explain it. I tried several times and finally saw the message above the "log in" box, NOT the guest order side I was using. Very frustrating until I figured it out.

It was a good experience that might have been better if the delivery time was shorter. But the company chosen for transportation did it's job so it is ok.

Book arrived in very good condition, as described. Took about 3 weeks but it was coming USA to Australia.
I was really pleased to get it - 1993 book out of print!

No discount for first order. Postage seems a little excessive!
